So far, the feature supports the translation of Spanish into English as well as the translation of English to German, Hindi, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. In addition to offering a neat way to translate videos into a user’s native tongue, Edge’s new AI feature should also make videos more accessible to those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Edge will also support real-time translation for videos on news sites such as Reuters, CNBC, and Bloomberg. Microsoft plans on adding more languages and supported websites in the future.
This adds to the array of AI features Microsoft has added to Edge through an integration with Copilot. Edge already offers the ability to summarize YouTube videos, but it can’t generate text summaries of every video, as it relies on the video’s transcript to create the summary.
